Since no one else on this forum is saying it. There should never be a nerf based on how players choose to use their abilities. I find it absurd that the basis for their decision concerning the relevant ability/abilities, is because players got smart enough to utilize an ability that the developers did not think of it being used for. It's preposterous! With this logic, they should go ahead and consider nerfing explosive probe, as it is a cover ability, and operatives, an advanced class for the Agent, uses it instead of overload shot , despite it being cover dependant, which is not intended to be used as an operative.
